Who / What is IOSH?

The Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) is the world's largest professional health and safety membership organisation and is home to over 45,000 members worldwide. Furthermore, it is the only Chartered body for health and safety professionals in the world.
Founded in 1945, and a registered charity since 1962, IOSH has developed a highly respected, formal, accreditation process for its approved courses and as such quality can be assured.

Is IOSH Accredited training similar to other training such as City and Guilds / BOHS / Pilz or Water Management Society?

Our IOSH Accredited Training courses in the fields of Legionella Management, Machinery Safety and Modern CoSHH Management have been solely developed by us at ISAC UK Ltd. They have undergone the formal accreditation process with IOSH to ensure that they have met the standard required in order to carry the highly acclaimed IOSH badge.
Our lecturers have been presenting and authoring these courses for the past 15yrs and to ensure that they maintain the necessary standard with IOSH are filled with up-to-the-minute content, including any changes to the law, best practices, relevant examples and scenarios that delegates expect when they come on to any modern day course.
Our IOSH Accredited courses offer a huge depth of detail and content and we fill them to the brim, maximising the knowledge and information transfer to our delegates in sensible time frames. Whilst some courses out there promise to give you a good understanding after 3-4 days or can be built up over 1 day modules we provide the perfect compromise for industry and have tailored the content to appeal to whatever your position is.

Where are your open courses run?

Our open courses are run in Derby at the Holiday Inn Express, Pride Park. We chose this venue as it is a professional setting whilst being comfortable for our delegates. It is centrally located and is a stones throw away from Derby station which is a huge benefit if considering travel to courses for businesses. For more information please see our Training facilities page.

Do you deliver in house courses at peoples premises?

Yes. In fact the vast majority of our training courses are delivered in-house at our clientâ€™s premises. Covering the full length, and breadth, of the UK we can provide our IOSH Accredited courses on your doorstep, at your convenience and within your required timeframes.
For more information on the cost in-house courses please contact us now on our corporate enquiry tab at the top of the page.

Do you just run IOSH Accredited courses or can you tailor one for us?

As well as our IOSH Accredited training courses in Legionella Management, Machinery Safety (PUWER) and Modern CoSHH Management we also have a large number of other training courses that we can provide. These come in the form of the following example but are not exhaustive:
â€¢ Working at Height
â€¢ Air Monitoring and LEV Inspection
â€¢ Risk Assessment
â€¢ Managing Safely in Horticulture
â€¢ Legionella Awareness
â€¢ CoSHH Awareness

Do you offer consultancy in my area of the country?

Yes, like much like our training courses we are able offer our consultancy services pretty much anywhere within the UK.

Can you help us with external stakeholders such as the HSE, Fire departments and Environmental officers?

Yes. A lot of our consultancy work stems from the fact that an impending visit is due by an external stakeholder.
We work very closely with our clients to ensure that they have everything in place ahead of the visit, followed by offering our services during the day to ensure that the client is well represented and a successful outcome can be achieved.

Can you help us with Accident investigation?

Yes. We have been involved in a large number of accident investigations over the years and have often been called as expert witnesses for the defence team, during court cases.
